Tweet If you have had acne for a good part of your life, or you have suffered with the skin condition on and off since your teens, like myself, then you know how much of a Godsend a good concealer can be, and a great foundation for that matter too. A good concealer can really camouflage the redness, bumps, scabs and scars that are leftover from when an acne lesion goes away, or even when it’s still there, so that you don’t have a giant shiner standing out for all to see. There’s definitely an art to applying it...

The Best Cover Up for Acne
Tweet Lord knows I’ve been in search of the perfect cover up and the perfect cover up technique for acne lesions and acne scars, and newly formed acne scars for a long time. There are actually a few that are worth noting, however you really also have to know the right technique for blending them and applying them to get the optimal, most covering results you can for skin that appears to be clear and flawless, but of course isn’t. I like to make sure first that I use a full coverage foundation, and I’ve recently found that Revlon...
Concealer and Foundation Application Overview, continued
Tweet Ok, to continue with our last conversation about application techniques for applying foundation and concealer for maximum blemish cover up and also for a flawless and natural look, let’s talk more about the application technique as well as what products (a recap) to use to get the best finish, for the most affordable price. I had mentioned before that I’ve repeatedly heard that Revlon Color Stay is a superior drugstore brand foundation that is recommended by a lot of makeup artists. I bought that and added it to my makeup collection, and couldn’t be happier with the coverage....
Foundation Brushes Give Better Coverage
Tweet Ok, so, being a very disciplined makeup user who always covers up blemishes, and was used to covering at least 4 to 5 blemishes at a time when I was a teen since my breakouts were so bad back then, I’ve tried a lot of different ways to cover my blemishes and old blemishes or scars that have worked to varying degrees. I think I’ve found the best way to cover blemishes and provide the best overall coverage that I’ve found so far. I actually went on Youtube to get pointers from makeup artists on how to do...
Physicians Formula Blemish Rx, New Healing Concealer
Tweet I read about this new item, and although I have not purchased or tried it yet because I’m honestly a little skeptical of something that doubles as a concealer and a blemish healer, I wanted to give you an overview. This item costs about nine bucks, so it’s pretty reasonable if it sounds like something you may want to try or you’re in the market for a new concealer and thought you might try something along these lines. It’s called Physicians Formula Blemish Rx blemish healing concealer. It comes in three different shades depending on what your skin...
Makeup Pads, Bacteria and Your Skin
Tweet I am a huge fan of using spongy makeup pads to apply my foundation. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to actually go back to using my fingers before I found my favorite makeup pads, which are only found at Wal-Mart that I know of. The ones I use come in a white color and are oval or egg shaped, and they are still the only makeup pad I will use, so I don’t know what I’ll do if they ever discontinue them. Makeup pads are great for applying your makeup, especially for those that...
Oil Absorbing Powders a Good Idea?
Tweet We just recently talked a little about humidity and how it contributes to acne, especially body acne, in the summer time. It’s important to take showers when you have done a lot of physical activity of course, to prevent the oil from clogging the pores since humidity increases oil production on the surface of the skin, but also on the face there may be another option if you have an incredibly shiny complexion, meaning you put out a ton of pore clogging sebum. There are some oil absorbent powders that can be a great addition to your makeup...
Washing Makeup Pads Helps Prevent Bacteria
Tweet If you have acne, then you know how important it is for your face to remain as free from bacteria as possible, especially since those of us with acne problems tend to secrete much more sebum (oil), on our faces and other acne zones, and this tends to attract more bacteria and debris that is pore clogging and acne-triggering. One of the things we need to be careful of is what we are putting on our faces. What I mean is we need to be careful how often we touch our faces with our hands and fingers, since...
Be Careful For Mineral Oil in Cosmetics
Tweet Going back to the days when there were fewer cosmetic choices, and there seemed to be a lot of common “no no” ingredients in the cosmetics we had to use as teens (at least I’m speaking for myself, maybe I’m the oldest one here though:), whereas today there is such a wide range of non-irritating makeup for us acne sufferers to choose from that we can easily choose one that is good for our skin and won’t clog us up so we can keep clear pores, which is one of the keys to avoiding acne postules such as...
Cover Up Stick vs. Cream
Tweet Hey, before I go into this fairly short one about cover up and which kind I feel works best for covering up old acne scars or fading acne redness, I just wanted to remind readers that if they choose to post a comment, please make it respectful of other readers and refrain from using profanity. I’ve had some lately that are downright disrespectful, and I will not tolerate that, because I believe we can all talk to eachother like adults here on this blog and share our views and opinions without name calling or plain rudeness. It’s a...
